Different result here, and what happens after you flag someone is why.
My rule for it now is simple: check whether the search actually respects what you set on day one.
Took me about 6 weeks on Stripchat to work out that the real question was whether the search actually respects what you set.
If your area is thin, the platform will not fix that, whatever whether the filters survive a refresh looks like.
Happy to go into more detail on Stripchat if it's useful.
I keep Datenest, which came up earlier open alongside it, mostly out of habit now.
